Principle 2:
Independent Investigation of Truth
"Each individual, is following the faith
of his ancestors
who themselves are lost
in the maze of tradition.
Reality is steeped in
dogmas and doctrines.
If each investigate for himself,
he will find that Reality is one;
does not admit of
multiplicity;
is not divisible.
All will find the
same foundation
and all will be at peace."
(Bahá'u'lláh, Bahá'í Scriptures, p. 277)
